The subtle fragrance of cotton needles

Chapter 175: A Lifetime of Unrest

"If something goes wrong this time, there's no guarantee that the emperor won't be more vigilant next time. By then, what chance will we have?!"

The queen was really angry. Why did she resort to witchcraft?

Do you think your life is too long? !

On the way back, the Queen thought about it carefully. Concubine Su was not brave enough to do such a thing as witchcraft. Even if Concubine Su was favored, once the witchcraft incident broke out, the Emperor would not forgive anyone!

"Go! Go check it out for me! Who on earth is so bold as to dare to do such a thing as witchcraft!"

"Yes!"

Mo Yuxuan followed Concubine Su back to Anyue Palace. Concubine Su didn't say a word along the way.

When they arrived at Anyue Palace, Concubine Su dismissed the servants and only left Mo Yuxuan.

"Yu Zhan, tell me the truth, was it you who did what happened today?" Concubine Su asked Mo Yuxuan very seriously.

Mo Yuxuan was confused: "Mother, are you talking about the witchcraft thing?"

Concubine Su said nothing, her face looking very ugly.

"Mother, it really wasn't me who did it!" Even if Mo Xuanxuan didn't want to marry a concubine, he never thought of doing anything involving witchcraft.

"Why would I do this?" Mo Xuanxuan felt really wronged. "Father has always been afraid of witchcraft, how could I dare to do this?"

Concubine Su did not want to suspect Mo Yuxuan, but it was definitely not the Queen who did this. Apart from her, the only one left was Prince Wei.

"Could it be King Wei?"

Is Prince Wei so brave?

After much thought, Concubine Su decided that it was most likely Prince Wei.

"Everyone knows that Prince Wei is treated harshly by the Queen, but she has kept it a secret from my father. How could Prince Wei really let the Queen choose a concubine for him?" Mo Yuxuan figured it out early on, but he didn't expect Mo Yufeng to be so bold!

"This is a serious matter, don't jump to conclusions." Concubine Su thought for a while, still not quite convinced, "Anyway, you see, we should not interfere in this matter."

"Looking at your father's behavior today, I'm afraid he will investigate this matter thoroughly. No matter what you think about this matter, remember not to say anything."

Mo Xuanxuan nodded and agreed: "I understand."

"By the way, what did your second brother say about you participating in the talent show?"

Mo Yuchen doesn't look like the kind of person who would sit back and watch the fire.

Mo Yuxuan hesitated whether to tell Concubine Su about his second brother and Prince Wei's collaboration, but then he thought that his second brother always had his own considerations when doing things, so there was no need for Mo Yuxuan to intervene.

"No, my second brother just asked me if I really wanted to participate in the draft."

Concubine Su groaned: "Forget it, Yu An will speak up if he has something to say."

"By the way, do you know about Mrs. Tu's divorce?"

Mo Yuxuan got excited when he mentioned this: "Of course, Madam Tu divorced and took the eldest aunt and her son away!"

“……” I knew this was what this kid cared about!

"Don't be too happy too soon," Concubine Su poured cold water on Mo Yuxuan, "Now the Sixth Miss has lost her status as a concubine of the Minister of Rites. If you want to marry the Sixth Miss, it's impossible!"

Mo Xuanxuan didn't care about this: "What are you afraid of? Qianxiang hasn't even reached the age of marriage yet. If the Fourth Young Master can make some contributions with General Pu Wei, Qianxiang's status will naturally rise!"

Mo Xuanxuan thought happily.

"You wish! You don't know how difficult it is to achieve military merit. If anything happens to the Fourth Young Master, Miss Six will probably never be at peace for the rest of her life."

Mo Xuanxuan felt as if a basin of ice and snow was poured over his head, and his head drooped.

"Don't always think about waiting for them to develop. It is very difficult to establish military merit. If you have to wait, it may take three to five years, or even ten to eight years." Concubine Su sighed and said earnestly.

"Status is an insurmountable gap. If you must marry the Sixth Miss, you can't just sit there and wait for death. You have to do something."

Mo Xuanxuan seemed to understand something.

"What mother means is..."

Concubine Su was still somewhat relieved that her son was not too stupid: "If the mountain doesn't come to you, then you can go to the mountain."

Mo Yuxuan suddenly understood, and the light in his eyes lit up: "Thank you, mother!"

After Mo Yuxuan left, Concubine Su sighed from behind: "How could you give birth to such a lively child?"

"Have you fixed your hands and feet?"

After returning to Prince Wei's Mansion, Mo Yufeng asked Chu Qiu.

"It's solved. We will definitely not be blamed." That's right, today's incident was caused by Mo Yufeng.

"Your Highness, has this matter become too serious?"

The matter of witchcraft is no small matter. If the emperor finds out that Your Highness is responsible, wouldn't that be counterproductive?

Mo Yufeng was not worried about this problem: "Don't worry, the bigger this matter is, the more vigilant father will be about the selection of concubines. If we mess up today, I'm afraid there will be no re-selection for a while."

Anyway, as long as Mo Cheng no longer cares about the selection of concubines, Mo Yufeng's goal will be achieved.

However, the matter of witchcraft is indeed a big deal, and Mo Cheng doesn't know whether he will be suspected.

Seeing Mo Yufeng frowning, Chu Qiu couldn't help but become more worried: "Your Highness, is there something wrong?"

Mo Feng shook his head: "Nothing."

Whatever it is, just come.

"Do you need me to bring this matter to the Queen?" The Queen wanted to harm them anyway, so this one little thing wouldn't make a big difference.

Mo Yufeng waved his hand: "Father will not believe it. The Queen is bent on inserting people into my house, it is impossible for her to do anything like witchcraft."

"As for Prince Yu..." Mo Yufeng pondered for a while, "With Concubine Su here, I don't think my father will make things difficult for him."

In this case, Mo Yufeng is the most likely to be suspected.

"Your Highness..." Chu Qiu was a little worried.

Mo Yufeng smiled lightly: "Don't worry, even if the emperor suspects me, he has no evidence. Moreover, the imperial concubine selection was originally for me. How could I be so bold as to bring up the matter of witchcraft?"

"I am a prince who has just left the palace and established his own residence."

Mo Yufeng had just established his mansion for more than half a year, and his foundation was not yet stable. Even if Mo Cheng had doubts, he would feel that Mo Yufeng would not dare to do such a rebellious thing.

"In this way, the emperor has no one to suspect, and the matter becomes an unsolved case." Chu Qiu breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Mo Yufeng was not in danger, it would be fine.

"Nothing?! What do I keep them for?!"

Mo Cheng was shaking with anger in the Yangxin Palace, especially when Eunuch Su reported the matter without any evidence.

"Your Majesty, calm down! I have sent people to check carefully, and there must be clues!" Eunuch Su quickly poured Mo Cheng a cup of tea, trying to calm Mo Cheng down.

Mo Cheng took two deep breaths before he calmed down and took the tea from Eunuch Su.

Eunuch Su was relieved to see Mo Cheng calm down.

"Has King Wei returned?"

"Yes, not long after His Majesty left, the Queen sent people to investigate the matter, and His Royal Highness Prince Wei returned home."

Mo Cheng snorted coldly: "If it were King Wei, this would not be difficult."
